Back to school!

Hey!

Well,we all knew it would come soon,and here it is! Back to school time! Goodbye parties,special dinners,and staying up till midnight!

But is that what Christmas is really about? Eating mince pies till your buttons burst,staying up till 5 in the morning and spending the rest of your day in bed?

You've heard the Christmas tale before
the Christ born on a stable floor
but think again,this Christmas scene,
not all is bliss and sweet serene,
think rusted tools,think grotty shed,
think feeding trough for Jesus' head,
where mice and lice and rats devour
a new-born babe is due this hour.
Some months before in Joseph's town
a messenger from heaven came down
'Your Mary soon will have a son,
the Son of God,the saving one',
Mary saw an angel too,
unmarried,with a baby due?
So Jesus,not yet even born,
is subject to the gossips scorn.
A census now to count all men,
sends our Joseph to Bethlehem.
Poor Mary with her pregnant load
one hundred miles along the road,
and no-one came to help that night,
no natal nurse to numbe the fright,
as waters break and labour starts
the Saviour in a shed imparts.
Sing! angels,from the hill tonight!
Bring sheperds to this holy sight,
Shine,star of wonder,brilliant light,
lead wise men to the child this night!
Now Herod got to hear the news,
'A new-born Christ,King of the Jews?'
So first-born sons were culled that year,
such fear , such blood ,such death ,such tears
But Joseph,bride and child take flight,
they flee to Egypt through the night,
undernourished as they roam,
now refugees and far from home.
For you God gives this Christmas story,
the coming of the King of Glory.


There it is,the Christmas story.

Why am I putting it on now? In January??


Well,for me,every time I hear this story at Christmas,it touches my heart so hard.
And now my new year resolution is, Lets This Story Always Touch Your Heart. Wether it's Christmas or not,always remember the King of kings who was born in a shed to save us from our sins.

Let it always be Christmas in your heart.
